As wonderful and well-made as this wine is, hell will need to be frosty for me to love a Cabernet.

Nose: sweet, dark fruit (blackberry, plum, fig) followed by hints of toffee, wet tobacco leaf, and a hint of black licorice. Palate: blackberry and black pepper jump out, fading to plum and charred oak on the moderate finish.
